The University of Pennsylvania Smell and Taste Center has three primary goals: to provide clinical evaluation, treatment, and counseling for patients experiencing smell and taste disorders; to provide facilities and intellectual focus for research in basic and applied aspects of chemosensation; and to provide training for students, doctoral-level scientists, and other professionals interested in chemoreception sciences. The Center maintains numerous databases, including a Smell and Taste Center database with information from nearly 7,000 patients, making it possible for follow up over time.
